Several months ago, I was in the unfortunate position of needing to find a divorce attorney. I made…read morefour appointments with various area law firms (based on Yelp and Google reviews) and then I met with Alison at Bates Family Law. I immediately felt a sense of relief despite the incredible emotional stress I was experiencing. Throughout my divorce case, I was impressed with the efficiency I observed with Alison and every person in her office. Whenever I emailed or called with a question; I received a very quick response. Unfortunately, my case was incredibly complicated for a 15-year marriage without children. Despite the complications, Alison was able to manage my case successfully but I believe it required a professional with her depth of knowledge. Also, the final cost of my case was significantly less than I had estimated, and I am very grateful. I am highly satisfied with the outcome. I am confident the result could not have been achieved if I had signed with a different firm. I highly recommend Bates Family Law.

If you are looking for a divorce attorney do not waste your time with this place…read more When I finally gained the courage to call I was very emotional as divorce is hard. Apparently, this bothered Lara as she was curt and told me I am not the first person to go through a divorce, I am well aware of this but a little compassion does go a long way. For myself, time is very limited and to have privacy I have to be careful so I scheduled a consult on a time that worked for me (over a week of planning for this appointment) and 1.5 hours after my appointment time with no call or text, while I'm with my husband I get a text from this law firm, sorry I missed our meeting I overlooked it, is now good? No, it is not hence why I scheduled it for 9 AM NOT 11:22AM. Divorce is hard, families breaking apart is hard. When we feel like the world is against us you could have been a light of hope. When someone is looking for support from this law firm all I can say is they need to do better.

Debbie, the paralegal who I only ever consulted with via e-mail, was helpful if lacking a tad of bedside manner. The reason for the drop from 5 to 4 is I felt things were not fairly or adequately explained to me during the mediation process. Now that I'm a year post-mediation, I really wish they had explained more of the Child Support laws - and that we should negotiate & potentially deviate from the state calculator because we were 50/50 custody. Instead, they just signed me up for the full $2,700/mo cost as the higher income earner and sent me packing. I also wish there was more thorough explanation about asset division. He suggested we keep her car loan in my name until the loan matures and just share the cost. Cool. Looks fine on paper, sounded fine in the office - but in reality, now I'm financially tied to my ex for 3-4 more years. I weirdly own her car and have to do her registrations, maintain insurance for her, and all that stuff. I can't imagine this isn't something they experienced before being professional family law specialists. A little education would've gone a long way. I appreciate that they wanted to keep things on the lower end of costs & move us through quickly...but some of these basic things would've been super helpful instead of telling me things to "get it done" that would ultimately be HUGE headaches later on.

That's in addition to the lost custody time and general pain and suffering caused by the illogical and nonsensical terms she wrote into the agreement. During mediation, she definitely favored the other side, so men beware. My requests were quickly dismissed, while my ex's were given weight and preference. End result was an agreement that was comprised almost entirely of my ex's demands. I strongly recommend using an attorney mediator, not one who tells you to buy her book if you wish to understand all the proprietary terms she will throw at you.

But as the days grew closer, I started questioning myself as to if I would be able to win my case alone. I then decided it would be best if I'd hire a lawyer. I came across Leticia's name - along with many other lawyers - , but seen that she did FREE CONSULTATIONS, i called her right away. I met with Leticia on a Friday, told her my situation and let her know my hearing was only a couple days away. After speaking to her for about an hour, she gave me the confidence that everything would be alright and just to stay positive. I knew then, she would be the perfect lawyer for my case. She spent the rest of her Friday evening and her whole weekend reviewing and preparing my case (who would ruin their whole weekend just for me?? Leticia did!). When the hearing day finally came, we walked out of the court room with flying colors. Leticia did a great job, she knew exactly what she was doing and knew exactly what she was saying. Leticia Astacio is the BEST LAWYER EVER!! I would definitely recommend her to EVERYONE I know.

Mr. Peter Pullano, Managing Partner of the Tully-Rinckey office in Rochester, NY represented me in…read morea child pornography case in 2017. A federal complaint was filed against me in January and the time between my arrest and sentencing (in December) was almost one year. Since this was my first offense, this year was the absolute worst of my life and Mr. Pullano quickly recognized my sincere remorse and desire to rehabilitate. He spent considerable time, at my request, educating my family (including my wife) and me regarding the nature of my crime and the range of legal options and potential outcomes. He was always clear and forthright whether the information he had to convey was good or unwelcome news. While Mr. Pullano was my primary legal interface, I also know that other members of his legal team (including Mr. Zachary Ruetz) were working behind the scenes to research legal precedents and outcomes of recent cases which were relevant to mine. I would also like to acknowledge legal secretary, Mr. David Douglas, who was particularly helpful with scheduling meetings (sometimes on short-notice), collecting and organizing documents (including character reference letters from my family and counselors) and keeping me abreast of my legal bills. Because of Mr. Pullano's extensive experience, exceptional legal skills and deep understanding of the federal judicial system and the prosecuting attorneys and judges involved, the outcome of my case was better than I could have hoped for. While I was sentenced to 30 months of incarceration and 10 years of probation after pleading guilty to possession, this outcome was far better than the federal guidelines range of 70-87 months and the maximum potential sentence of 20 years. Mr. Pullano guided me through the process and encouraged me to seek counseling early. He also made it clear how important it was to follow all rules set forth by probation for my supervised release over the year which enabled me to spend extra time with my family between plea and sentencing dates and post-plea after gaining approval by the judge to self-surrender. In summary, everything came together for the best-case scenario because of how Mr. Pullano handled my case and because of the positive actions I took after being arrested based on his suggestions. While I'm not looking forward to incarceration, I feel the number of months is tolerable for my family and me and that justice has been well-served. I did my research before selecting Tully-Rinckey and discovered that I could have paid 2-3 times for a fancy, big-city legal team but, I'm convinced I made the right decision not to and that the outcome would not have been any better. Thank you Mr. Peter Pullano and Tully-Rinckey for the expert, successful and very practical legal services.
